While Manchester City will not collect the Champions League this season, their points total will once again put them among the greatest sides in the history of the Premier League. And like 20 years ago, a team from Manchester could collect silverware from three of the four competitions they entered. Manchester United won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League, while City already have the League Cup and are in the FA Cup final. But how do both teams compare? Sportsmail has taken a look at both and rated them below.

'People don't like winners': Guardiola claims they do not get the same respect as United or Liverpool despite domestic dominance
Pep Guardiola feels Manchester City are under-appreciated as they attempt an unprecedented domestic treble. The City manager claimed winners are never liked as he aims to lift the FA Cup for the first time when they take on Watford at Wembley. 'People don't like winners,' Guardiola said.

Former Watford owner Elton John wore platform shoes in the dugout, asked for a pink gin at Anfield's boot room and was clattered by Sherwood in five-a-side but... he's STILL STANDING
The story of Tim Sherwood, Elton John and a five-a-side pitch near the Great Wall of China encapsulates how Saturday's FA Cup finalists were possessed with a benefactor like none other. It dates to 1987 and an end-of-season tour in which Sherwood was a promising midfielder adhering very literally to Watford boss Graham Taylor's maxim about training as hard as you played. Elton, the club's chairman and owner, whose name had opened the door to China, had joined the squad in a five-a-side game between tour matches when he prepared to receive a gentle ball, not knowing that Sherwood had different ideas.

Play-off drama continues as Charlton seal final spot with shootout victory after rollercoaster clash against Doncaster
ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT THE VALLEY: Tommy Rowe missed the crucial penalty for Doncaster as Charlton set up a repeat of one of the greatest ever play-off finals against Sunderland.

Ex-England captain Rooney admits 'watching Manchester United struggle is always tough' following their dismal end to the season.
Clarke is the super manager performing miracles at Kilmarnock and he could be set to become the next manager of Scotland after learning from Jose, Robson and Co
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY STEVE STAMMERS: He has a budget of £1.7million and a squad made up of loan players. Yet he has taken Kilmarnock to third place in the league and won Manager of the Year in Scotland. No wonder Steve Clarke is a wanted man: wanted by the Scottish FA to become the next national team manager and wanted by clubs south of the border impressed by his season. So when Kilmarnock play Rangers in their last league game of the season on Sunday, the players know it could also be Clarke's last. Several clubs will have noted that Clarke is on a one-year rolling contract so any compensation will not be huge.
